Little Patsy Doyle

William "Little Patsy Doyle" Moore (died 28 November 1914) was the leader of the Hudson Dusters gang. Moore was a major Irish Mob leader during the 1910s, and he was killed at the end of a war between his Dusters gang and Owney Madden's Gopher Gang.

Biography
William Moore was the leader of the Hudson Dusters, a gang of cocaine-addicted Irish-Americans that controlled the Hudson River waterfront of New York City. The gang was based on the Lower East Side, and the Dusters would use its large army of 300 gangsters to destroy smaller Irish gangs and force them out of the waterfront.



In 1912, the Dusters went to war with feared Gopher Gang member Owney Madden, better known as "Owney the Killer". Madden was shot eleven times in a failed assassination attempt at the Arbor Dance Hall in November 1912, and he decided to hunt Doyle down and kill him after Doyle decided to inform the NYPD about Madden's operations (this was a major breach of Irish Mob etiquette).

On 28 November 1914, Doyle was lured to Nash's Cafe by Madden's girlfriends Margaret Everdeane and Freda Horner, and two gunmen followed him into the restaurant. Doyle talked to the girls before turning to see the gunmen, and he was shot several times. Doyle limped to the doorway of the restaurant, and he collapsed on the sidewalk and died.
